'Trinamool's Sougata Roy Will Be Beaten Up For...': BJP's Dilip Ghosh

Trinamool leaders will be beaten up with shoes in various parts of the state," Dilip Ghosh said.

Kolkata:

BJP national vice president Dilip Ghosh on Thursday courted controversy by saying senior Trinamool Congress leader Sougata Roy "will be beaten up with shoes" for a comment he had made while attacking critics of his party.

Mr Ghosh's remark drew a sharp retort from Roy who claimed the BJP leader lacks "formal education'' and is in touch with the TMC as he no longer enjoys the confidence of the saffron camp.

While terming that it was unfair the way the TMC was being "maligned" by opposition parties following the arrest of two of its leaders in different cases, Mr Roy had said that "shoes will be made by peeling off the skin of those who believe they can get away by maligning the party" under the garb of protest.

However, he later regretted making such a remark.

"Sougata Roy is a veteran politician. He was a professor once upon a time. But we are stunned to hear the language he used to attack the opposition. He is telling his party cadres that shoes will be made by peeling off the skin. The day is not far away when people will beat him up with shoes. The TMC leaders will be beaten up with shoes in various parts of the state," Mr Ghosh said.

Mr Roy said he did not want to react to the BJP leader's remark.

"It's beyond my dignity to comment on what a person with little or no formal education is saying. Dilip Ghosh himself is in touch with our party as he no longer enjoys the confidence of the BJP leadership," he said.

Mr Ghosh had also claimed that such comments show that TMC leaders are now "scared" as two of their senior colleagues – Partha Chatterjee and Anubrata Mondal – are behind bars.

Mr Chatterjee was arrested by ED in connection with the school recruitment scam while Mr Mondal was arrested by CBI for allegedly not cooperating with it in a cattle smuggling case.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
